We love this cottage - and particularly the location - and have stayed here several times under various letting agencies.
It can't be faulted for location and amenities and suitability for a grown up family with 'plus ones' who do a lot of water activities.
Very little would put us off going there - whilst it represents value for money and feels like a luxury property for the luxury price tag.
The welcome pack adds luxury and is always a treat. We particularly enjoyed it this year.
However, this year, for the first time - despite the 'extra time' being given for a 'deeper clean' due to Cpvid 19 et al - we actually felt it was not very clean this time. And we all noticed it - not just 'fussy mum'. Previously, the cleanliness and attention to detail had made it feel very welcoming and 'high-end' and that people cared about the comfort of their clients.
Cobwebs everywhere around furniture and ceilings, oven and splash backs spotted or greasy, windows smudged and notably the rugs and soft furnishings in need of a deep clean - and a little smelly.
Also - it is sad that we are not enabled properly to use the 'garden area' (which is a sun trap - when there is some sun) - by there not being a key for the upper door (although we could walk round) - but no decent furniture provided or the area 'prepared'.
I'm not suggesting the place hadn't be prepared and it did look nice on entering - it's just that it soon became apparent it was beginning to look 'tired' and in need of a deep clean and perhaps refresh.
As for recommending to others: I never tell my friends/colleagues where I stay - it's a closely guarded secret as we have limited times when we can race to book it!!
